- Bringing Grade and EPA Forecasts Together
PFF famously grades every player on every play. These play-by-play grades are the foundation of the first section of the rookie quarterback forecasts. Applying Bayesian updating to each dropback for all of the 2019 rookies gives us a “best guess” forecast for true passing grade for each quarterback, along with ranges of outcomes that reflect the co...
When we run the same analysis using passing efficiency — as measured by EPA — Murray separates himself from the other rookies. There are only a few players who had produced better forecasts at the end of their first seasons, and we’ll identify who those passers were in the next section. Jones struggled more as a rookie in terms of efficiency, posti...
We have the data for each class going back to 2007, so we can calculate the same forecasts for all rookie quarterbacks in that 13-year window. Below I’ve plotted the year-end forecasts for passing grade and EPA per dropback for each of the 45 rookie quarterbacks with at least 200 dropbacks. The first plot highlights the 2019 class in red along with...
Keep in mind when viewing these results that higher-drafted quarterbacks have an advantage with their forecasts, so a very strong rookie performer like Russell Wilson won’t look nearly as strong as a weaker one like Andrew Luckdue to the massive difference in draft status. Murray is in the same area as the successes who performed better in terms of...
Highlighting the rookies who didn’t end up as franchise QBs shows a significant bias towards the bottom-left of the plot. Yet there are some rookies with promising beginnings who didn’t end up as successes — players like Robert Griffin III, Marcus Mariota and Sam Bradford. Murray is largely in the clear, but the rest of the 2019 class is in the thi...
I found in a previous analysisthat combining passing grade- and EPA-based Bayesian forecasts in roughly equal proportions can predict a quarterback’s EPA per dropback better than either alone. The calculation is simple: normalize the two numbers into the same scale (from 0-to-100) and then average the two for a combined forecast. All four of the 20...
